Should be fine in general. I mean what if you upgrade nodes, and you upgrade 1 and then reconnect, then you also have 2 different versions. And that is a of course a supported upgrade scenario. And in your case they don't even talk to each other. Anyways, when a resource connects to a peer there is a handshake and there min and max protocol versions get exchanged and as long as they have some common ground the connection get's established, otherwise aborted. Fun fact: there is current work that latest DRBD9 can even talk to 8.4 again.
